Who's in the 6 Underground cast, and where you have you seen them before? Directed by Michael Bay, the Netflix action thriller was produced for approximately $150 million, and will theoretically kick off a movie franchise for the streaming service.
In 6 Underground, an enigmatic billionaire known only as "One" assembles a squad to hunt down international baddies. One has officially been declared dead, along with the rest of his team. As the 6 Underground unit works together under-the-radar, their leader consistently states that he doesn't consider the group to be a "family." But the team grows closer while pursuing a vicious dictator, and the members slowly reveal personal details about their collective backstories - except for One.
Netflix's 6 Underground features an all-star main cast, along with various supporting players that will be familiar to subscribers. Here's a complete cast and character guide for Bay's highly-anticipated film.

A rogue billionaire, One grew up in Lucky B Orphanage and was later educated a Stanford.
